SESSION 608 - Lets Give 'Em Something to Talk About: Oral History in the Digital Age

Speaker Lineup and Materials

How do diverse institutions cope with preservation and access issues when it comes to oral histories in their collections? The speakers in this lightning session present some answers to that question. Institutions represented include large and small, federal and educational, public and private—with born-digital and digitized oral histories. The variety of projects spans working with students and vendors, diverse interviewees and creators, and digitized versus born-digital material.
